World Cafe Playlist for 01/08/2025

Peter Cat Recording Co joins host Stephen Kallao

Peter Cat Recording Co.’s latest album BETA, was self-described as a “collection of stories about the future, told 50 years in the past, to make sense of the present.” The Indian rock band, originally from Delhi, join World Cafe to talk about how retreating to the beachside region of Goa changed the sound of the new record, and we’ll hear songs from BETA.

Listen to the session here.
